Plotting EnergyPlus results

Hi everybody!

Before asking a new question i would like to thank you all for all the support you are giving through this page! Thanks a lot!!

I would like to ask you if there is a way to plot EnergyPlus results (like Zone Operative Temperature, Zone Windows Total Transmitted Solar Radiation Rate..) in Rhino.. I mean , i would like to see those results as i can see the Daylight Factor after a daylight simulation.

Because i remember to have seen a video, showing something similar.. is it possible?

Thanks in advance

Claudia

Claudia,

You probably want to connect the results to the LB_reColorMesh.

From there you can bake using this component options.

Thanks a lot Abraham, i think that that component is what i was looking for.

But i have another question: how do i create a mesh that fits perfectly with the 8760 values from the EnergyPlus simulation?

Just to be clear, I would like to have something like that:

First thing i would do is to update the file. There are new versions for the components. If it still have issues upload the file, so we can see.

Don't get what to check since the geometry is missing on the file.

Anyway, i see that the following components are not updated: HB_PMVComfRecipe, HB_MicroclimateMap and HB_VisualizeMicroclimate.

Probably you'll need to reinsert them (at least the first one).

I am sorry, I thought I have internalized the geometry.

Here Is the geometry attached.

Btw I have updated the file and components through the HoneyBee_Update HoneyBee and LadyBug_Update LadyBug components, is it right? They are now updated to the FEB_03_2016 is it right??

Attached a working file.

I recommend you to think twice running the PMVComfRecipe for the whole year. It will take a LONG time to do, if at all. I put some components so you can choose to analyze typical/extreme weeks.
